Hello,

I am a graphic designer and have a site running on DNN 4.4.1. Several modules load and run without problem on the site, including HTML/Text, Links, Images. However, a number of other modules give me a load exception error, either upon inserting into a pane or when changing settings. Here is the first part of an example error message:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)...

I have contacted my ISP tech support about possible database permission issues. They tell me that the problem appears to be code related, possibly something in the web.config file. However, I cannot seem to solve the problem.

Could someone help point me in the right direction?
